Mutuality is my favourite chapter so far

It is a great start!

I will stop reading it, I don't understand what the hype is all about.. I got very distracted while reading it because of the way it is structured. It is a book of fragments about someone's life and thoughts with not a clear storyline, not that I wouldn't enjoy such structure but it has been made in a way that my brain couldn't handle it!

“People don’t understand what it’s like for me,” she said. “They take it for granted that I’m always going to be cheerful. Meanwhile, these assholes think they can go around treating everyone below them like shit. And I’m supposed to giggle and look cute and send their faxes? Fuck them. Let them all go bald and burn in hell.”

I was like a baby being born— the air hurt, the light hurt, the details of the world seemed garish and hostile.

This was the beauty of sleep—reality detached itself and appeared in my mind as casually as a movie or a dream.

I was twenty-four years old. I watched summer die and autumn turn cold and gray through a broken slat in the blinds. My muscles withered. The sheets on my bed yellowed, although I usually fell asleep in front of the television on the sofa, which was from Pottery Barn and striped blue and white and sagging and covered in coffee and sweat stains.
